"He was the best of us. They struck without provocation, there was no reason. Animals! Brutal! They deserve no mercy! Strike them down, follow them back to their base and kill all of them, all of them! No mercy!" - Delenn

That brainbug has been around for ages, and it's just as false now as it always was. In ANH alone they fought their way through a defended chokepoint with few casualties, a light infantry force destroyed a sandcrawler with precise hits to key structural components, and they had to shepherd a hostile force through the guts of the Death Star without killing them, while giving the illusion of strong resistance and while said hostiles were trying to kill them. In all cases they accomplished their task exceptionally well.

Sure - I was just listing their feats in ANH, as it's their first appearance, and they comprehensively demolish the "stormies can't shoot straight" nonsense. Even their most notorious defeat, Endor, was going pretty well until Chewie hijacked an AT-ST. The only serious charges that can be brought against the Imperial military for their conduct during that battle are gross stupidity on the part of the idiot who let Han into the complex, and possibly insubordination and cowardice by Pellaeon, depending on which account of the timing of his retreat relative to Eleemosynary's disabling is accurate.
